Ground Attack 2010

The show always includes ground displays of military vehicles as well as aircraft. There is usually a mock battle involving these jeeps, tanks, and various weapons, with lots of fake explosions of course! They seemed to have particularly good special effects this year and the explosions were quite substantial!

The aircraft joined in the mock battles by dropping "bombs" on and strafing various enemy ground targets, including a "submarine" and a "V-1 flying bomb" which seemed to have got involved somehow. Of couse there was anti-aircraft defense involved as well.
